Hi Mark!
We got your message loud and clear. Thanks for your compassion. I'm already
eyeing a few possible solution.
Considering my Duo is dead, does replacing the mother will take care of the
problem, or is there something else that could be damaged?
I'm scheduled to leave for a short vacation starting tomorrow noon and was
really looking into having my Duo with me. Guess I'll have to hang on solely
to my Newton...
Thanks again.
-Laurent.
